Go forth and tell! O Church of God, awake! Lyrics

Go forth and tell! O Church of God, awake!
God's saving news to all the nations take;
Proclaim Christ Jesus, Savior, Lord, and King,
That all the world His worthy praise may sing.

Go forth and tell! God's love embraces all;
He will in grace respond to all who call;
How shall they call if they have never heard
The gracious invitation of His Word!

Go forth and tell! Where still the darkness lies;
In wealth or want, the sinner surely dies;
Give us, O Lord, concern of heart and mind,
A love like Yours which cares for all mankind.

Go forth and tell! The doors are open wide;
Share God's good gifts--let no one be denied;
Live out your life as Christ, your Lord, shall choose,
Your ransomed pow'rs for His sole glory use.

Go forth and tell! O Church of God, arise!
Go in the strength which Christ, your Lord, supplies;
Go till all nations His great name adore
And serve Him, Lord and King, forevermore.
